In October, my bf said he had gonorrhea, he said he sprayed on some insect repellent on his skin but before he could wash his hands, he masturbated. He said he felt burning and he started to pee pus and they were other symptoms of the std ,few days later he got tested and he was positive. I never had sex with anyone else and he didn't (I know there could be a possibility he could've cheat but just day he didn't ). Could he have gotten it from the insect repellent?

Hello- Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by bacteria called Neisseria gonorrhea or gonococcus. Be assured that your boyfriend is definitely cheating on you, as gonorrhea can only be inherited by doing unsafe sex with a person suffering from gonorrhea and not by any insect repellent.
